DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Enrique was 
located near latitude 17.1 North, longitude 105.3 West. Enrique is 
moving toward the west-northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h). A turn to the 
northwest with a gradual slowdown in forward motion is expected over 
the next 12 to 24 hours. On the forecast track, the core of Enrique 
is expected to remain offshore roughly parallel to the southwestern 
coast of Mexico during the next several days.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 85 mph (140 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Additional intensification is expected today, and 
Enrique is forecast to become a category 2 hurricane by Sunday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles
(220 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 982 mb (29.00 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Hurricane Enrique can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP5, WMO
header WTPZ45 KNHC, and on the web
at www.hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep5.shtml?key_messages.
 
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are likely occuring in the eastern 
portions of the warning area.  These winds are expected to spread 
westward within the warning area tonight and through the weekend.  
Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area on Sunday.
 
RAINFALL:  Through Monday, Enrique is expected to produce total rain
accumulations of 6 to 12 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 18
inches over Colima and coastal sections of Michoacan and Jalisco in
southwest Mexico. These amounts would likely produce life-
threatening flash flooding and mudslides over portions of
southwestern Mexico.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Enrique will affect the southwestern
coast of Mexico during the next few days. These swells are likely 
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please
consult products from your local weather office.
